Source_Contribution: location of parcels, which were then coded for land use.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
New Hanover County staff provided an INFO file containing land use codes (numeric) and a unique parcel identifier. Residential areas were selected out from this dataset and Coastal Services Center staff joined these tables by the "PID" attribute, removed several attributes that were not useful to the larger work project and saved the shapefile. To identify undeveloped land use parcels within high-risk areas, an ArcInfo intersect operation was performed to locate all parcels with the natural hazard high-risk areas. All parcels whose center fell within a natural hazard high-risk area were saved to the new shapefile. This shapefile was then intersected with the New Hanover County zoning coverage to assign zoning classes to each undeveloped parcel.
